"The wind PTC is an enormous government handout, and it is wrong to borrow money from future generations to give away corporate favors to those who promise jobs but – as we can see now in Kansas – who cannot deliver on that promise without continued reliance on other taxpayers.

Most important, the wind PTC does not work. Proof of this is that the wind PTC has been in effect for two decades and, still, wind-generated electricity is multiples more expensive than other sources of…

“After billions in public hand-outs spanning nearly four decades, big wind has never been able to stand on its own and there’s no reason to believe this will change. … If yanking the handouts causes the industry to flat line then so be it. The US has elected a businessman at the helm who understands what it means to cut your losses. It’s time we did exactly that!”

Elections matter!

The United Nations has publicly stated its goal is not to ‘solve’ climate change, but to seek to redistribute wealth and expand its authority through more central planning. UN official Ottmar Edenhofer, co-chair of the IPCC Working Group III, admitted what’s behind the climate issue: “One must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy … One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost…

Perhaps Dylan Voorhees  can sponsor warm milk parties  and psychiatric trauma counselling  for himself  and his ilk . Perhaps he should go back to teaching  8th grade where he can do some good.

Maine must thank NRCM,Audubon, Sierra Club et al and other corporate enviro-lefties    for the global  progressive lunacy that has   influenced Augusta politics these past years.That influence has increased costs for business and residents(with little to no…

Harold Hamm, Mr. Trump’s chief adviser on energy issues, said subsidies for renewable energy like solar and wind, and credits for electric cars, should be eliminated. “None of it should be subsidized, none of it,” Mr. Hamm said Wednesday. “If it makes it in the market, fine.”…

"You look at these horrible wind mills that are destroying every environment; they're destroying areas, they're destroying neighborhoods; they're killing all the birds; the windmills are the worst of all. And we're backing all of this garbage that doesn't work and it's really destructive.

President-elect Trump has said he is not a fan of energy generated from wind and solar power. That’s of high concern for Maine’s environmental groups. Dylan Voorhees, a scientist for the Natural Resources Council of Maine, worries Trump might unravel progress made by the Obama administration on the Environmental Protection Agency’s clean air and power plans, particularly a rule that’s under development to reduce mercury and other emissions that pollute the air.

“We’re still reeling…

To everyone who has steadfastly fought against the hostile takeover of Maine via industrial wind YOU ARE THE RESISTANCE. The media are being shown for the totally corrupt lot they are. Next up: the front groups such as the environmental groups pushing wind in Maine. And believe it - the problem can exist all across the political spectrum, although the left is the problem with wind.

You are the resistance, the great awakening has begun and guess what -- we are now winning.

Big Wind lost big last Tuesday. While it’s not clear what Donald Trump’s election means for federal energy policy, it’s abundantly obvious that the wind-energy sector’s agenda was crushed in Vermont.

Although it cannot be stated definitively that wind energy was the deciding factor in Scott’s win over Minter, it is abundantly obvious that wind has been one of the most divisive issues in the state. During the Democratic primary for governor, two…

Maine should be benefitting from low fossil fuel prices and supply abundance.

Why not? . Dense sources of fuel are in abundance!

It is not "dirty fuel"(which is not "dirty"),it is DIRTY POLITICS and Renewable Graft!
